This is an exceptionally rare Ball Family Reserve James Valentine in Pine Green, part of a tiny 63‑piece worldwide run. This limited‑edition BFR features a stunning high‑gloss Pine Green finish, matching headstock, all‑gold hardware, roasted flamed maple neck, stainless frets, and the full premium electronics package that makes the Valentine one of the most versatile signature guitars ever built.

This guitar is #21 of 63, was hand‑signed by James Valentine, and includes the numbered certificate of authenticity. I’m also including an extra backplate so the signed plate can remain pristine — a major plus for collectors.

This is a collector‑grade example of one of the rarest and most desirable BFR Valentine runs ever produced.

Condition

  • Excellent overall
  • No major dings, dents, or scratches
  • Frets are clean with no visible wear
  • Neck is straight, smooth, and fast
  • Electronics are perfect — no noise, no issues
  • Hardware is bright; the slightest natural aging on the tailpiece, extremely subtle and hard to photograph (normal for gold)
  • Case shows light exterior marks from normal storage — purely cosmetic

This guitar has been carefully kept and it shows.

Why this guitar?

BFR Valentines are already rare, but the Pine Green run of 63 is one of the smallest and most sought‑after. Signed examples with full paperwork and an extra backplate almost never come up for sale.

This is a premium, collector‑grade instrument.

Shipping I pack guitars the way I’d want to receive them: carefully, securely, and fully insured. Continental U.S. only unless arranged in advance.
